Had a setback on my Muzzy install. Grandson and I took the bike out for a good test and we drug {dragged?} the mid-pipes on both sides. And we didn't even get into some real twisties!!

NOTE: I had extended the mid-pipes out about 3' to improve how the Muzzy's fit my headers. My bike is lowered. {But I never drug the Area P system I had on the bike previously}. (this included some track days)

Soooo, Last night, I removed the 3" extension's and moved the front of the mid- pipes in..Will give it another try soon. Probably at the National in Kerrville....

If this doesn't work, I'm considering raising the bike, or another set of mufflers.

Da Plan: The Muzzy mid pipes/mufflers will be coming off. {for now} Plan is to replace the right side Muzzy with an Area P Slip On and plug the left side. {later} Trying to find a used Area P to install on the left side. Area P has smaller OD mid pipe and inside of Muffler is smaller. {Might help ground clearance issues, and maybe the burble, surging?} Raise the bike about 3/4", and soften the preload on the springs. {Change drop from 1 1/2" to 3/4". {I think I discovered how to build my own Lowering Link at "any" height I want.} Pick Steve's brain to see if he has any suggestions on the Flash I'm using. (he told me I would have a problem) I have his Mountain Runner Flash and it is great with my Stock exhaust and Area P slip on. {HIGHLY recommended} Wondering; Maybe his Area P {Full System} flash would work better with the ZX header?

Removed the right Muzzy Muffler/Mid-pipe and temporarily installed the Area P Muffler/Mid-pipe.For now, I kept the Muzzy on the left side so (By blocking one or the other) I can hear the difference in sound.

The Area P is not that much quieter, but has a different/deeper tone.Also gave me more ground clearance.

Tonight, I will finish the Area P install, remove, the left Muzzy, and plug that side for now.Will see how that runs...

Latest Ride report with 1 Area P Muffler installed.No more; burble, surging when riding at "very" low throttle openings. Runs good!! Smooth roll on/cruise. But may have lost bit of the WOT power. Did not drag anything. The Area P Mid Pipe has more ground clearance..

As I'm crazy and like to tinker,,,, I currently installing a second Area p Muffler on the left side. Building my own left Mid Pipe.

Looking at the pictures I actually like the looks better with the Muzzy's, but the Area P mufflers are a better fit for me (Not as loud) and they are tucked in a lot better. More ground clearance..

Cuda, my Muzzy's don't have the inserts, nor holes to install them. Can you send a photo of yours?I set the spring sag and mine is now rougher than I like. Would decrease pre-load but right now nothing drags in the twisties. Afraid softening it may make things drag when I'm playing in the Arkansas twisties with Cliff.

Currently building my own lowering links as I'm a bit too low.. Now at 1 1/4" drop. Changing that to 3/4" drop... If that works out, I'll soften the preload a bit.NOTE: I don't like the adjustable links as I prefer to use my center stand..

Talked to Steve. {Geez he's knowledgeable!} He thinks there's more power available with a bit of tuning..

Update on this old discussion;I just returned from the COG National.Still have the 2, Area P Mufflers and a 2006 ZX-1400 header. I recently upgraded from Steve's Mountain Runner to his Mountain Runner Premium flash.Runs great!
